John Cooper did an interview where he actually credited Corey as being a good tour mate. Said they were treated well by Corey.

What somebody says in an interview and what they actually think are often very different. They have to "kiss the rings" both for those band and for other bands that want to take artists out who know how to cross-promote.

True but I don't think John is "kissing the rings" so to speak. I think its a good tour for them and I'm sure that Skillet will have the best performance out of all the bands.

They will be the most consistent night-to-night, because their show is tracks and choreography, but that's not a compliment.

Are you basing this on Winter Jam? That's an entirely different kind of show and because of the format, use of choreography and tracks is kind of excusable there. I doubt they use tracks (except for strings and other electronic/symphonic stuff) in a more normal tour such as this one.

Personally I don't think tracks are excusable in any format, but that's just my personal opinion.

They use a vocoder and tracks every show. The vocals you hear both live and on the album are not natural.

Wouldn't a voice using unnatural means sound robotic unless the voice was already doing most of the work?

It would if it were 100% vocoder like T-Pain, but in their case it's dialed back a bit and the "fill" vocal tracks and the level of fill is triggered by the mic levels and actual vocals. It's all about layering tone — it's the same technology that goes into noise-cancelling headphones, but instead of a frequency triggering a countering frequency (to effectively cancel the ability to hear/perceive it), they use a harmonizing frequency to thicken the tone and add effect.

On the album it's just a vocal effect that to my ears already sounds robotic because it's too overdone. Way to harsh and shrill.
